According to reporter Dan Rather

Yeah, he is a credible source that can be depended on....

The overwhelming evidence in this case is that LHO is the only guilty party. The one thing I haven't seen discussed much on this thread is Jack Ruby's involvement. IMO he is the cause (indirectly) of all these lame conspiracy theories. He was not a mob hit man. If he was, why the hell would he take his dog and leave it in his car if he was going to kill someone. Ruby's killing of LHO was a chance thing that really screwed up the whole investigation of the assassination and caused too much wild speculation.

In regards to a stripper working at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club; Karen Bennett "Little Lynn" Carlin:

When Secret Service agent Roger C. Warner interviewed Carlin later that day, in Warner's words she "twisted in her chair, stammered in her speech, and seemed on the point of hysteria." She told Warner, according to his Warren Commission affidavit, that she was "under the impression" that Oswald, Ruby, and others unknown to her were "involved in a plot to assassinate President Kennedy and that she would be killed if she gave any information to the authorities." 7 She later calmed down in the interview and said "she had no information in her possession" that Ruby was involved in a conspiracy, but she asked that all she related "be kept confidential to prevent retaliation against her in case there was a plot afoot." 8 Months later she testified to the Warren Commission that she called Ruby around 10 o'clock that morning to ask for money for rent and groceries. She also testified that she thought Ruby "had connections with Lee Harvey Oswald," but she insisted there was "nothing to base it on, except my own opinion." 9

And the essay also points out; Jack Ruby's Dog, or Goodbye Little Sheba That Ruby packed a pistol going into the Dallas Police Department; but left his trunk key and billfold in the glove box and locked the rest of the car keys, and $900 in the trunk. Car doors left unlocked.

a video operator for WBAP-TV in Dallas, told the FBI and Warren Commission that he saw Ruby standing on the sidewalk on the Commerce Street side of DPD about 8:00 a.m. that morning, and again about 10:00 a.m. Smith said that Ruby came over to the truck at one point and asked, "Have they brought Oswald down yet?"

A whole lot on that dog in the essay, when the author uses sworn testimony, it's not always easy to just say it's wild speculation.
